Viral Video of the Week: September 1st

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

So, a new month and another week of combing the internet to bring you the best in viralitilisationary videographius…that’s hebrew for clips of dogs farting.

This week I have found something more amazing than that time you casually threw a cupcake over your left shoulder and unwittingly aimed it so it bounced off your gran’s head and into the mouth of the kid next door dressed as Darth Vader (best halloween ever!)

Imagine every guilty pleasure film you have ever guiltily enjoyed. The kind of film you watch after everyone’s left the house and you can settle down with a pot of ice-cream, a spoon and the hello kitty pyjamas your mum bought for your birthday and you pretend you never wear. Now, we’re probably all thinking of different films, but guaranteed they’ve all got an awesome dance sequence in them. I’m talking Footloose, Grease, Dirty Dancing, Coyote Ugly, High School Musical, Billy Elliot, Saturday Night Fever, Moulin Rouge etc. etc.

Now take those, add a pinch of some classics (Singing in the Rain, Blue Skies, Mary Poppins) a dash of cult (Rocky Horror Picture Show, Clerks 2) and a couple of curve balls (Pulp Fiction, Austin Powers) and by jove, you’ve cooked up this week’s Viral Video…

Allow to sit for 4 minutes 44 seconds and tuck into the most awesome dance montage the internet has ever seen:

Viral Video of the Week: August 25th

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Remember the “Hoodie-Footie”? Yep, the ’snuggle blanket’ that held the immense power to keep you warm and make you look like an absolute idiot at the same time.

Nothing you could possibly willingly buy and wear could make you more of an idiot or alienate you more from normality and your friends and family…until now!

Yes, just when you thought we’d seen the end of people trying to re-invent the blanket by cutting holes in it and sticking on socks, we found this floating around the internet: ‘The Snazzy Napper’ offering a “Snazzy way to catch up on your sleep when you are away from home.” Now, I’m not sure how you’d define the word “snazzy”. But when I read that, I was imagining some sort of crazy ‘Bond’ gadgetry: a spoon that turned into an air bed or a pair of pants that stretch into a hammock. Those things would be snazzy. What I wasn’t expecting was a piece of cloth that you tie to your head…that’s not snazzy. That’s the opposite of snazzy. It’s rubbish…y.

This video was uploaded a few months ago, but has been watched more times than the VHS I recorded of the Muppet Movie when I was 5 that I recently donated to the local Library where it is now rented 4 times a week…by me.

Viral Video of the Week: August 18th

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Dogs are funny right? And everyone loves a bellyflop video? Good, I’m glad to see we’re on the same page.

Imagine now that you could combine the two into some sort of awesome super-viral the likes of which the world has never seen. The Secret Guild of Viral Ninja kings have struck again! This time with a corgi flopping himself into Shuswap Lake, B.C, Canada.

The corgi, known to friends as ‘Cooper’, has not only brightened up over 1 million viewer’s week with his funny flopping, but in my opinion, coined the most awesome phrase ‘Corgi Flop’ which I have learnt you can apply to any situation…

For example:
“Hey, what do you call that hairstyle?”
“Oh this? it’s a corgi flop”

Or:
“Do you want to lick my ice-cream?”
“No, because you may have corgi flop”

Maybe even as an insult:
“Let me tell you about the joys of scientology?”
“Leave me alone you massive corgi flop”

or even
“What’s that dog doing up that tree?”
“Fetching my pants. We threw them up there by mistake and drew straws to see who would have to get them and he lost so..yeah…he’s getting my pants”

…couldn’t figure out how to fit it in there…but that actually happened to me once in Taiwan. By the time the dog had managed to get down the tree I had forgotten how to put the pants on and went without for a while. It was strangely liberating…except for the bit in prison.

Anyway, here it is…the official and first ever use of the ‘Corgi Flop’.

Watch it now, thank me later…

Viral Video of the Week: August 11th

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

The Viral Video this week has been around for a while now, but it’s still being passed around the internet like a pot of pringles, except the video won’t get stuck on your Uncle Gary’s chubby hand for 13 days until the buttons he drew on it with a sharpie wash off the police force realise he wasn’t actually robo-cop and they should probably get their handcuffs back…also the video will never run out…it’s not much like pringles at all…more like chewits, never ending chewits.

Anyway, if you haven’t seen this video yet then you have obviously not been on the internet in a long time…or if you have, you’ve had too much to do and hidden under a virtual rock of internet banking, twitter updates and stalking your Gran on facebook, hoping that she’ll slip up on a status update and reveal the secret ingredient that makes her Lemon drizzle cake so moist.

Well it’s time for you to step back into the virtual sun and bask in its proverbial rays of streamy video gold. And what better way to start than with this weeks video from YouTuber Hungrybear9562…

We’ve all been blown away by a rainbow before, it is a beautiful thing, but this takes that to a new level…DOUBLE RAINBOW!

It’s starting to look like a triple rainbow…

We want YOU to tell us a story

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Yes, once again we’re adding a new feature to the site and the lead up to Version Awesome and we really want you guys, the 1Click community, to be involved.

Basically, it’s pretty simple. We want you to tell us your story. This is why the new feature is aptly named…. “Tell Us Your Story.” Be as creative as you like! The only small requirement we have is that it has to be no more than a minute long. (We’re crazy like that…)

Some of you may (or may not) have seen the backstories we did for last year’s competition. It’s similar to this except it will be you filming yourself on camera and talking directly to the audience. Tell us about yourself! How you started, where you come from, what you want to do in the future, your dreams, just stuff wot is in your head. Anything that you think will be of interest to the audience. And remember, this is not just for the competitors but the judges too! We want to hear everyone’s tale.

We will be featuring a video on our shiny carousel every week so make sure your video is of good quality and creative and it gives you a chance to add to your 1Click Profile too! (Time to brush up on those editing skills)

Most important of all, just have fun with it! Once you’ve done it, just upload it to your 1Click profile and drop us a quick note to say you’ve done it here!

Good Luck! We look forward to hearing your story!

If you need any help or you want to know more about it then feel free to drop us an e-mail at info@1click2fame.com.

Viral Video of the Week: August 5th

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Lots of things make me happy: watching a Panda roll down a hill, beating my best time on screwball scramble, the entire box set of ‘Mork & Mindy’ or even the simple satisfaction of putting on a microwave-warmed pair of pants on a cold morning.

But nothing has made me happier than watching the happiest DJ in the world doing what he does best, being happy…and DJing.

This video has been up for just under a month and already has received nearly 400,000 hits and we’re not surprised. It is awesome, he is awesome and if you watch it you will surely catch some sort of deadly awesome that will corse through your veins until you find yourself on the dance floor at your Aunt Frank’s wedding busting out some of this guy’s moves: the “pointy-arms”, the “stand-up-sit-down”, or my personal favourite “take-off-the-glasses-then-put-them-back-on” – that one will be all over Ibiza by spring, mark my words.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this week’s viral of the week…

The Happiest DJ in the World

Yep, he’s pretty happy…but still not as happy as this kid.

TomFoolery: Happy Cakes and Broken Faces

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

Check it out, you thought I’d be gone for another month, but oh no, here I am, back like a bad rash that just won’t stop appearing every time you touch your hamster, so you sold the hamster, unaware that it was in fact the cotton wool in the cage that you were allergic to, and then when christmas rolled round and you agreed to play Santa in the local production of ‘Fiddler on the Roof’, the cotton wool beard caused you to flip out and eat an entire violin. Those were the days.

Anyway, here’s some stuff that I sort of spoke about a bit in EPISOOODE 13! (spooky)…

Firstly, snowmen can be spooky – see?

Secondly, the man who wrote the song “IF I WERE A GREAT WHITE, I WOULDN’T BITE YOU”

smileyousonofa

If I were a great white, I probably would bite you, because I’ve seen the film Jaws…if I don’t bite you, you’ll shoot me in the mouth, and I don’t want that. You can also check out his website here

Next up, here’s a guy hurting his face…

Powerriser Fail – Watch more Funny Videos

Who’d have thought that strapping springs to your legs was a bad idea? Someone once told me to also avoid Lego in your eye so bear that in mind. Sharks in your bath is another one to bear in mind. Also, avoid putting bears in your mind.

Of all the things you should avoid though, trying to jump on a trolley whilst it’s rolling backwards is a big no no…I learnt that the hard way

Yes, that is in fact a video of me, in my youth, dressed like an idiot and hurting my face for the first of many times in my life. Since then I have a minor fear of trolleys. It’s not all that bad, but I did punch an inflight attendant in the face once for offering me peanuts. Then again, she was calling me a ‘bum-face’ so she kind of had it coming.

And lastly, Orangina spent their advertising budget on special cake…

If I was a lizard and I had acne I’d wear a dinosaur mask and pretend I was a tiny dinosaur…probably wouldn’t put Orangina on my face, but that’s just me. Personally, I find dinosaur masks much more effective than most cosmetic products anyway. Especially this one.

Right, that’s about it then. I’m going to go now and gets me some special cake. I hear if you eat enough of it and then play Pink Floyd backwards over the top of Aladdin, Bambi’s mum doesn’t die.

p.s. This is the facebook group for project bring the bear home….but the bear is already home. Onwards with the anti-facism campaign. Vive le resistance!

Viral Video of the Week: July 28th

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

So there’s this guy right, and he walks across America, from Brooklyn Bridge to the Golden Gate Bridge.

Now if I know my American geography (which I most definitely don’t) I’d say that this is a long way for a guy to walk.  I am a guy, and I don’t fancy doing what that guy did.

Luckily, guy or not, you don’t need to do what that guy did, because that guy who walked across America uploaded the journey for other guys so they can watch it as if they were the guys who walked across America.

But maybe you’re the kind of guy who doesn’t want to watch another guy walk across America, maybe you’re the guy thinking that’s the kind of thing that would take a guy a long time and even watching the guy walking, filmed by another guy, would inevitably get dull for all guys involved.

Well that’s the beauty of this guy and his video because this guy and his team of guys used a unique mix of stop-motion and time-lapse which lasts under 2 minutes and looks bad-ass which is why we selected this guy as our viral video of the week.

Although this guy uploaded this last Tuesday, we thought we’d cheat it into this week because it’s pretty awesome, and we love awesome.

Also, check out the Behind the Scenes video where you can see how some guys made the video of the guy.

And now ‘Guy Walks Across America’

He kind of reminds me of this guy
